Activists are holding a stand in front of the State Council in Dokki, Saturday 16 December, 10am, in solidarity with Egypt’s Bahaai minority, who are suffering state descrimination against them, that includes refusing to issue any official documents to them, since Mubarak’s “secular” government requires the religion of the citizen to be mentioned on his/her ID cards. However, the Interior Ministry’s computer can only process three entries: Muslim, Christian, Jew.

Bahaai’s cannot issue birth and death certificates, ID cards, or any govt document, since the interior ministry does not recognize they exist.

    It is time for the silent majority to speak up and express its support for civil and human rights. Thank you for your courage and for your stand….

    The logic behind the “Category” section on Egyptian National ID’s continues to baffle me. Why? There is one sole purpose for this and it is to discriminate between members of different faiths…pure and simple! No other reason.

    There is a simple reform (abolishing this requirement) that would go a long way to improve Egypt. Where is the Ikhwan on this issue? Instead of conducting Kung-Fu parades to intimidate those who criticize them why don’t they stand up for a decent issue??
